GERMANY: Woman Convicted Of “Offending” Migrant Gang Rapists Receives Longer Prison Sentence Than The Rapists - The Publica
  • I never said harassment was worse. In the first sentence I agree with OP's statement.

    However, the reason most of the assailants are not in jail is not because their crime wasn't worse, it's because they are minors. The 19 year-old assailant got 2,5 years jail-time and no probation. The others got between 0,5 and 2 years on probation, which is arguably worse than 3 days in jail.

    So, no the headline is not accurate.

    Edit: I just reread your post... you think the victim got jail time over harassing her assailants?! That's what these rage-bait headlines do. It's not about what actually happened. It's about triggering the preconceptions of the consumers and pushing them farther into the extremes.

  • GERMANY: Woman Convicted Of “Offending” Migrant Gang Rapists Receives Longer Prison Sentence Than The Rapists - The Publica
  • Yes, we do agree on that.

    The assailants were minors and thus mostly got probation sentences. That's due to German law. This was criticized widely.

    Are you allowed to find out the mobile number of the perpetrators and harass them on WhatsApp? Well, not under German law. Two wrongs don't make a right and so on. It's true that she did not get the leniency the assailants got, because she is not a minor (and had been caught stealing before). She was sentenced to a weekend in jail. That is 3 days.

    Are both cases comparable and allow us to draw larger conclusions from the differences in their sentencing? I don't think so. They are completely different and only linked by the victim of the latter being a perpetrator of the first.

    It does make for a sensational headline, though!

  • I built the first 100% private, on-device "For You" feed on the fediverse
  • Can you elaborate how and what actions will affect my feed? I don't quite understand how this works without any login as I can't vote or write comments. Also how do my subscriptions affect it if I'm logged in to an instance?

    I do like it and would wish something like that as an app.

  • What are y'all watching this season?
  • Haven't been following current anime. Started watching Dungeon Meshi because I like the idea and it looked fun. Absolutely in love with it.

    To scratch the fantasy anime itch between episodes I started watching Frieren: Beyond journey's end. Hooked me with the first episode and has only been getting better!

  • 🍿🍿🍿

    Edit: I'm not actually opposed to watching movies with directors cuts. Just realized I love watching ridiculously long video essays about movies, but almost never watch directors commentaries. Not sure why, probably availability.

    Also I heightened the phrasing for comedic purposes ;)

    Plastic tea bags
  • The first time I saw a bag like that, I was shocked as well. Seems like just the worst idea to use plastic to create tea bags. Turns out it is and they weren't made out of plastic. It's a starch based fiber that is biodegradable. I don't think you could have plastic tea bags here in the EU in any case. I'd wager yours isn't plastic either. Yeah, so you probably got mildly infuriated over nothing, just like I did the first time I saw one of these 🤷

  • wie gehe ich mit einem Rechten am Arbeitsplatz um, der immer tiradiert?
  • Ich denke das Beste wird sein ihn merken zu lassen, dass es dich nervt, weil du auf Arbeit nicht über Politik reden willst:

    • "Ja, lass gut sein"
    • "Ist klar, lass Mal lieber hierauf konzentrieren"
    • "Kannst du das Mal lassen, ständig über Politik zu faseln"
    • "Wenn du über Politik reden willst geh in den Bundestag"
    • "Lass mich bitte in Frieden mit deinem Politik Geschwätz "

    Wenn du das regelmäßig machst, wird er sich hoffentlich selber bewusst wie viel er das macht und lässt es bleiben. Solche Typen haben meist selber keinen Bock auf Politik.

    Und wenn du Mal gut drauf bist, kannst du ihn fragen warum er das glaubt, wenn er wieder sowas raus haut. Dann hörst du dir seine Erklärung an und zweifelst wieder an der usw. Das geht aber nur gut gelaunt und offen, statt konfrontativ. Es geht nicht darum ihn zu überzeugen, nur darum Zweifel zu sähen und ihm klar zu machen, das du das alles für unglaubwürdig hältst.

  • Straßennamen in Bayern: SA-Mann soll bleiben
  • Einen Straßennamen würde ich aber kaum als Würdigung bezeichnen.

    Als was würdest du das dann bezeichnen? Angenommen eine Stadt beschließt eine Straße nach dir zu benennen, das würdest du nicht als Würdigung bezeichnen? Ich glaub dir ja fast, dass du das nicht als Würdigung siehst. Ich fürchte nur, dass die meisten das anders sehen. Schau dir mal an nach wem Straßen in Deutschland (und anderen Ländern) benannt sind.

    Ich finde, da gehört eine Infotafel zur Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus in dem Ort dazu hingestellt, wo schon aufgeklärt wird was passiert ist und wie es sich damals so ergeben konnte. Dann kann, und gewissermaßen soll, man auch gerne Straßen nach Nationalsozialisten benennen.

    Verstehe ich das richtig, dass du für die Erinnerungskultur in Deutschland Straßen nach Nazis benennen und dann darunter Infotafeln aufstellen würdest? Mal abgesehen davon, dass wir uns vielleicht lieber an die Opfer als an die Täter erinnern sollten, meinst du nicht, dass das zumindest international und auf Karten nicht so gut wirkt? Und wo würdest du die Tafel denn hinstellen? So eine Straße ist ja meistens auch ein bisschen länger. Stell dir vor wir würden das wirklich machen und noch einen Schritt weiter gehen, zur Erinnerungskultur in Berlin eine Adolf-Hitler-Allee einführen. Denn wenn dann müssen wir uns doch an den Typen erinnern! Kriegt auch irgendwo eine Tafel die erklärt, dass das nicht als Würdigung gemeint ist, eher so als Ächtung und für die Erinnerung. Fühlt sich das wirklich für dich nicht unsinnig an? Stell dir vor jemand fragt dich wo du wohnst und du musst antworten: Adolf-Hitler-Allee 88...

    Ich glaub nicht, dass du das ganze hier so richtig durchdacht hast.

  • [Viral video going around, CCP and Freedom of Speech keeps being brought up] Police Called To Stop Filming During Piano Livestream [37:35 | Jan 19 2024 | Brendan Kavanagh]
  • "This is a free country, mate! We're not in communist China now!" Calm down, mate. You're in the UK.

    But obviously, as insufferable as he is, that is his right. He probably was exactly the right person to really blow this all up. I doubt though that it will actually go anywhere.

  • strange order of credits
  • The order and way actors appear in the credits is, as you alluded to, often part of the negotiations and contracts. Seems like these kids had better contacts than the others. That could be because they have more experience, their parts were supposed to be more prominent and changed (although I doubt that with these character names) or they simply had the better agent(s).

  • Ubisoft Wants You To Be Comfortable Not Owning Your Games
  • If your games are on steam, you're already not owning them. The only difference seems to be that steam doesn't demand a monthly subscription cost, yet

    We already have game pass so it's not like this is something completely new either.

    If this makes money, other big publishers will join and in 10 years it's the norm.

    Personally, I'll try my best to keep buying on GOG and itch.io where I get to actually own my games.

  • Burial Ground - The Nights of Terror (1981)

    "An archaeology professor discovers an ancient crypt which contains living dead corpses. The zombies go on a rampage and attack a group of people which the professor had invited to celebrate his discovery."

    IMDB

    This is my favorite b movie of all time. Got it on VHS from an older friend for 5€ when I was in "high school". Its German title is "Rückkehr der Zombies", which means "Return of the Zombies". Here is what the cover looked like, roughly. It's an incredible mix of bad acting, nonsensical setups, confused pacing and surprisingly good makeup and gore. The best part is the kid, who is supposed to be a teenager at most, but is clearly played by a small adult (see here).

    If you are a fan of b movies, especially Horror and splatter, this is a must see!

    (Also: I love this community!)

    Supertramp - The Logical Song (1979) [Progressive Rock]

    "The Logical Song" is a song by English rock group Supertramp that was released as the lead single from their album Breakfast in America in March 1979. It was written primarily by the band's Roger Hodgson, who based the lyrics on his experiences being sent away to boarding school for ten years. Wikipedia

    Yes - Roundabout (2008 Remaster) | Progressive Rock

    I don't know what it is about this song, but it always grabs me and transports me to a fantasy realm. It was a welcome surprise to see it used in the end credits of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
